Congrats on ruining the games more than they already were guys, very well done.

this is nothing special and old news. almost every site wants kind of a playthrough with deposited money theses days.

no money is held hostage

most guys in 10s 15s and 25s jackpots have super GTOish lines in ACR which is interesting especially if we think in stars same levels the best reg is in the best of situation a REG ish or a non gto REG, hope nakonoko helps the situation

Bump this thread, this dude has been KILLING it!!! Lollllll

it's ****ed for anyone to be associated with ACR at this point ... there is no transparency and things have not really improved

I always saw randy as a great guy. Might be good for ACR

How safe is ACR? Are tournaments good enough to grind? Any chance to deposit without having crypto?

ACR is unfortunately not safe. They cancel tournaments frequently, support is relatively unresponsive to reports of cheating and botting, and the low to mid stakes games in holdem and PLO are rife with bots. The tournaments get a decent amount of entries, but it's a hard place to eat a loss since you genuinely know you're being cheated (stables, bots, collusion).

ACR is quite literally one of the easiest sites in the world to beat…….

He asked if it was safe. It is not. It is an unsecure and poorly regulated site with minimal security, helpless support, and a terrible track record for making decisions that are solely in the interest of ACR's profit. Where it stands in terms of games available today is not at all what I was addressing, so I'm unsure why you quoted me.

I disagree with the above poster that says ACR isn't safe.

I've never felt my funds are unsafe and even trusted them to make accommodations for me in another country once when I won one of their tournament packages in "The Beast" rake race. Everything went smoothly at the airport/hotel and was taken care of. Never had a problem getting a payout.

It's true there are some suspicious players that MAY be bots (I suspect some myself), however there are bad players on the site as well and you can certainly win on the site in the long run, especially at the lower limits. I cannot speak to the current state of tournaments/SNGs or 100NL and above but 25NL and 50NL cash games seem beatable, as well as everything below.

There have been some issues with the servers going down during tournaments etc. as that poster mentioned, and it sucks when sites don't pay people based on their stack size when the servers crash and instead just giving buy in refunds. Not accusing them of doing that - but IIRC I've read a few times they haven't.

I have an ok win rate over a big sample at 10NL Blitz and have started to work my way in to 25NL and 50NL regular tables and so far am winning over a small sample. A few years ago I was winning slightly at 100NL but the games have gotten tougher, still think I'll be able to win there once I work my way up.

There is also 27% rakeback deal you can ask support to change your account to, and The Beast which helps out with building your roll. Even breaking even at the game (or slightly losing) you will build up your roll with these promos.

havent played on ACR in a little while but i used to grind the jack pots. played maybe 10,000 of them over like 5 years. they are so bot infested it boggles my mind they have done absolutely nothing. ACR had a big software changes and bots i reported disappeared out of nowhere. i broke this to randy's attention and he told me to submit something and i did. and literally nothing happened. i reported about 100 accounts and nothing.

randy is useless, ACR is useless. probably of the 100 accounts i reported only 6 still play. they basically pray bots go away. which is essentially nothing

Sorry but anyone who legit believes the cash games on this site aren't bot infested is ****ing delusional. There is sooo much evidence so suggest there is and ACR will likely never do anything about it because short term these bots are making them money by keeping tables going.

This isn't a disagreement with anything I indicated, but is just you saying that your funds are safe (funds being unsafe is not a criticism I levied). I never had a significant payout issue with ACR. They pay out most of their tournaments (unless there is a huge overlay then they have "server issues" and issue refunds). Your funds are not exactly safe historically on this site. When they rolled out a software update that had not been beta tested, there were tons of random disconnection problems, and balances disappeared and the wrong amounts were returned to accounts as people joined and left tables. If the players noticed, they would report this to support and it would take forever for the funds to be returned. For every person that noticed some $ value being off, there were many who did not. Where did that money go? Not a single person was credited with money unless they reported the issue and sent multiple emails to support. It isn't an issue of their payment processor being a problem or general site insolvency; the problem at ACR is that it is run like the wild west, and there is no transparency about the issues they have and they are only resolved after people catch them and go through a myriad of hoops. There are bad players in the games because it is the last place you can game in the US; people have no choice. I can make money in a casino, but it does not mean that the casino is not inherently filled with tons of pitfalls and traps. There are some winners in the games at ACR, but you are doing business with an entity that has proven themselves untrustworthy, and that has chosen profits over players for a solid 10 years now.

Ability to withdrawal quickly and easily is probably the first thing that comes to mind for most people when you mention safety. Everything else is a moot point if you can't do that. The worst thing that has happened to me while playing in the last few months is I had to e-mail them to get a single day of rake back that got missed somehow, and a few times I got sat out for no reason in cash games. I agree they have problems including the ones you listed but it's not stuff that is happening on a daily basis (or even weekly that I've seen). From the way some people describe the site you'd think it's completely unplayable.
